Lemonade - Watercolors
Lemonade Anyone
A quick sketch and then watercolors to finish up this glass of lemonade. Lemons - Lemonade is very good for one's digestive system and it also aids when used as a cleanse.
Watercolors!
My Watercolor Palette!
So many of my friends have asked about my watercolor palette. I set it up to be similiar to the color wheel. Beginning with different tones/shades of yellows - then oranges - then reds, moving around to blues, greens, browns and I save the last two cups for Payne's Gray and Titanuim White. All my paints in this palette are squeezed from tubes. I do have other palettes that come in hard squares that you just pop into the palette.
Actually this is a fairly basic palette. I like to use strong colors and then mix to create new colors that will be all my own - never to be matched by anyone else.

A few fun pieces
Always having fun sketching and watercoloring
This one is of three friends on the beach front
These are geraniums from my front garden that I sketched a pot to add demension. First I sketched it with graphite pencil and then did a light water color wash.
I call this In Her Easter Bonnet! Cute! Taken from the Art of Vogue 1909 - 1940. Pencil sketched and then did a light watercolor wash.
This is my home - a work in progress. Sketching with graphite pencil. It was built in 1996 and I thought it would be fun to add to "the wall" . . . I hang my work all over my home! Much to my husband's distress! LOL.
And this cute little bird was a Art Trading Card event held each month (or so) by Grumbacher. I entered and then they post all the entries. Fun. Oh participants also get a trading card in return. After a number of trades you receive free product from Grumbacher!

The next sketch was taken from the cover of The Art of Vogue 1909 - 1940. Its a fun source to find interesting people and fashion to sketch. This is a young girl checking her makeup in a hand held mirror compact.
